Authorities have confirmed that the 1998 Mustang swerved into a nearby ravine, ejecting the two brothers from the car. The two hailed from Columbus, Georgia. A third passenger was rushed to Midtown Medical Center for treatment, but the extent of their injuries remains unknown.

The crash itself is under investigation and authorities remain unsure if the deceased were wearing seat belts at the time of the wreck. The lawyers at Link & Smith, P.C., remind motorists that seat belt use is an absolutely essential safety measure. According to the CDC, more than 2.3 million people were treated for injuries or lost their lives in 2009 alone. Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also note that in 2011, proper seat belt use cut motorist fatalities in half.
